- A compact aluminium board measured at 515 × 180 mm and about 1.35 kg
- Real layout must include pedals, power supply, plugs, and cables

- Anyone carrying one wired layout between home and rehearsal
Selection points
Make a full-size paper layout
Within 515 × 180 mm, include plug protrusion and foot space, not only pedal bodies.
Measure the power supply
The distributor gives a guide of 31–35 mm high, up to 54 mm deep, and 140–155 mm wide. Include cable exits.
Clamp evenly
Tighten blocks evenly without excess torque and check movement plus cable slack under foot pressure.
Understanding the differences
Why choose it
GPB-01 uses clamp blocks and a folding under-chassis for a compact adhesive-free board.
How alternatives differ
Hook-and-loop is flexible; hard cases protect more; larger GPB models grow; one multi reduces wiring.
What to check before buying
Check full pedal and plug dimensions, power size, block count, bag, total weight, and realistic future additions.
Common mistakes
- Calculating from pedal bodies without plug clearance
- Ignoring power height and cable exits
- Over-tightening clamp screws
- Buying pedals merely to fill empty space
Choose by use case
At home
Build with two or three pedals and power, learning the signal order.
Lessons and rehearsals
Check that pedals and cables cannot move inside the bag.
Keeping it useful
Update the full-size layout before additions and inspect clamps and cables.
